PURCHASE, N.Y. - Manhattanville College scored two goals in the final 48 seconds of the game, including a highlight-reel game-winner from freshman Kat Reilly (Holbrook, N.Y./Sachem North) with 28.4 seconds left, as the Valiant women's lacrosse team came back to defeat SUNY Old Westbury, 17-16, in a non-conference thriller on Wednesday afternoon at GoValiants.com Field.

Down by a goal with 4:34 to go, junior Lauren Cassidy (Oceanside, N.Y./Oceanside) made two huge saves to keep it a 16-15 game and give the Valiants a chance. In the final minute, the Valiants forced a bad clear for Old Westbury that was picked up by junior Olivia Drew (York, Maine/York) and the home team went right to goal, with sophomore Katie Zambrotta (North Babylon, N.Y./North Babylon) posting up in front and finding the net with 47.6 seconds remaining.

Reilly controlled the ensuing draw and again went right to the cage. The freshman fired a shot off the crossbar and straight into the air, and Reilly leapt high above the defense and swatted the ball into the net for the game-winning score, marking the seventh and final lead change of the afternoon.

Reilly finished the game with four goals, four draw controls and five ground balls for Manhattanville (3-1), which has won three straight games for the first time since 2011. Sophomore AnnaMarie Nardone (Thornwood, N.Y./Westlake) had a big game with five goals and an assist for six points, while classmate Carly Weiss (Mahopac, N.Y./Mahopac) also made an impact with two goals and three assists, three draw controls and three ground balls. Sophomore Sarah Dalsey (Ocean City, N.J./Ocean City) added two goals and a game-high seven draw controls as well for the home team.

Manhattanville looked to be in control up 13-9 with 24:14 left in the second half, but Old Westbury roared back with five straight goals to take a 14-13 lead with 12:37 remaining. Reilly tied the score with 7:48 on the clock only to have OW's Natasha Treuman respond 48 seconds later. Sophomore Christina Leva (Hawthorne, N.Y./Westlake) knotted the score again at the 6:01 mark and then looked to put Manhattanville ahead 36 seconds later, only to have the goal called off due to an illegal stick.

Treuman then struck again with 4:34 left to put Old Westbury up 16-15, but that just set the stage for Manhattanville's comeback.

Cassidy finished the game with eight saves for Manhattanville, including five huge stops in the second half. For the game, Manhattanville posted a 40-28 edge in shots and also edged the Panthers in ground balls (29-24) and draw controls (21-14).

Manhattanville will look to keep its winning ways going on Saturday, when the Valiants host Alvernia University for a non-conference matchup beginning at 1 p.m. at GoValiants.com Field.
